So, once again, I always get multiple postings out of synch....oh well....so on the Sunday we held a brunch at our place and about 50 friends showed up. We had to have overflow parking down on the lower paddock. We made a big fruit salad and got croissants and breadrolls from Kyogle, free range bbq chook and champagne and orange juice.
I took a group down to the creek to show off all the work that we had been doing down there. Some of our friends had visited us when we first moved here 4 years ago so they were quite impressed with the changes.
Sam decided that the creek looked too good not to have a swim so he jumped in but found that it was still a tad too cold to stay in for too long. Or maybe it was the unseen threat of the large eels that patrol the deeper sections....
The obligatory group shot of course.
Shane, in the orange t shirt, basking in the glory of being our super-hard-working and talented grounds curator who's work over the past three and a half years has created the lovely place down by the creek...
And this is a lovely shot of us with some of our oldest and dearest friends...friends who we unfortunately don't get to see too often any more other than our close friend, Geoff, who has his arms around Steve, and who lives in Newcastle. Next to Geoff is Nick, then Ross, Casey and Ross, who all came up from Sydney. We used to make an annual pilgrimage to Leura in the Blue Mountains with these beautiful men, over the Queen's Birthday long weekend...we did that for about 12 or so years but since moving up here have only managed two out of the past four years. Hopefully we might see the boys up here a bit more often, hey boys?
